Episode 011- Universal Background Checks HR8

So, what is HR88 and why is it bad? It is titled the “Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021” and it was introduced by Mike Thompson (D-CA). The claimed purpose of this bill is “To require a background check for every firearm sale.” The claimed reason for this is to prevent people who should not have guns from buying guns.


On the surface, that seems like a laudable goal. As a retired cop and a responsible gun owner, I don’t want crazy people and/or felons to have guns.


The problem becomes, how does one enforce such a goal? Being from California where “universal background checks” already exist, I can tell you how this will work and what legislation will follow “in order to strengthen the background check law.” This is yet another step down the slippery slope.


How do I know what will come? Because I already lived through this once.
